Questions from Elmer

Can you serve near the sea around Elmer?

We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.

How far is Elmer from London?

It is about 54 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.

Do you do parties at home?

Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.

Do you bring plates and cutlery?

That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.

Do you cook on site?

Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.

Do you do a taco bar?

Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will recommend how to serve.

Can you do dairy-free food?

Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.

Do you have vegan options?

Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.

Food truck hire in Elmer, from our truck or trailer

We cook inside our truck or trailer, so your venue does not need a kitchen. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed per booking. It suits staff appreciation days and family celebrations, serving burrito bowls, quesadillas and burritos.

Hire our food truck for an event near Elmer and the kitchen comes with it; all we need is a level spot, a way in and permission. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

How we price food truck hire

Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:

  • Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
  • The menu you choose
  • Guest numbers
  • Timings and hours

Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.

Getting an accurate quote

To check availability and price, we need:

  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • Gate widths, slopes and the ground
  • What you’d like on the menu
  • The address or venue name

Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.

Hiring our taco truck near Elmer

Elmer is about 3 miles east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Give us the address of your event in Elmer, and we will plan the journey and set-up before the day. We serve in 371 places across West Sussex, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Chichester, about 8 miles away.

If guests are travelling by rail, Ford station is about 2.9 miles away. Roughly 54 miles separate Elmer from central London. With the sea within about 3 miles, a hired food truck at a seaside venue is an option. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots normally need permission.

For food truck hire in PO22, we plan around your venue and the route in and your guests. Streets in the area include Elmer Road, Ancton Lane and East Avenue, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. We also serve at events in Middleton-on-Sea (1 mile west), Bilsham (1 mile north), Atherington (1 mile north-east), Flansham (2 miles north-west) and Horsemere Green (2 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Worthing (9 miles east), Bognor Regis (3 miles west), Chichester (8 miles north-west), Selsey (9 miles south-west), Littlehampton (4 miles east) and Shoreham-by-Sea (15 miles east).

Other landmarks nearby include Bognor Regis Museum (3.1 miles west) and Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital (2.9 miles west).

Working with your venue

For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.

Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.

DIY taco night or a caterer?

Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.

Catering for every guest

We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
  • Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
  • Check parking and loading rules for street locations
  • Tell us about coeliac guests

If your timings move, let us know, and we will work around it.

Tell us what serveware you need and we will confirm the options in your quote.

Space, access and the venue

We will be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:

  • Level, solid ground for the vehicle
  • Parking arrangements if we are not on private land
  • Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance

Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

How to compare caterers

Step by step

We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. Evening events in Elmer stay light until about 9:20pm at midsummer. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.

  1. First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
  2. We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
  3. Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
  4. Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
  5. After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.

Getting ready for the day

  • Measure any gates or arches on the way in
  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
  • Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
